Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a Government Order reserving 50% of Super Specialty seats for in-service candidates in Tamil Nadu's Government Medical Colleges. The petitioners contended that such reservation is impermissible under the law. The Court granted leave in all Special Leave Petitions and ruled in favor of the petitioners, indicating that the reservation policy may not be legally valid.
